I sit and bite my tounge
I don't want to say anything wrong
Your steady breath
in and out and in again
This torturous agony I wait in
Will you speak or will I

I stare at my phone screen wondering
I lock it and unlock it
What feels like a thousand times
You are finally right here
But nothing will escape my lips
Let alone find my tongue to form a sentence

Your brown eyes stare downwards
I've looked at them so many times before but
Have forgotten how they stare back at mine
I forgot where each small mark on you face is

You look up and ask
If I am nervous
My breathing is erratic and
My heart will not slow down
Nervous of course, you are sitting next to me
I still couldn't say but a few words
This moment was something I had wanted and waited
We hadn't talked in person much
No oír body's were so close they were touching

Music played and songs changed
Jokes were made words were formed
You talked about my eyes
We took pictures, no one cried
I didn't want to leave and you didn't want me to either
You kiss was something new
I felt many new things, new thoughts
Nothing could go wrong if I never left that spot
We stood and we sat, I kept looking at you
I didn't want this moment to stop
